North Port Washington Road (Dr. Martin Luther King Drive to Olive)
The project that began on June 18th was completed and the road was opened to two-way traffic on Thursday, November 1st. North Port Washington Road between North Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive and West Capitol Drive has been narrowed from 50 feet to 46 feet matching the roadway from West Capitol Drive to West Olive Street. Curbs and gutters were removed and replaced throughout the project corridor. Sidewalks in poor condition were replaced and driveway approaches were reconstructed. New inlet structures were installed and connected to the storm sewers.
The narrowing of the roadway has allowed for more trees and green space. In addition, one striped 5-foot bicycle lane in each direction was installed though out the project limits.
There will still be drums in the parking lanes due to the contractor replacing sod and working on pavement that was damaged. This will also include the closure of Fiebrantz Avenue at North Port Washington Road to replace cracked pavement.
